In the movie, Aaryan will play the role of a journalist who covers the live broadcast of a terror attack in Mumbai.

Aaryan who entered recognition for his role in Pyaar Ka Punchnama, said “This for me is a miracle script and had me on the edge of my seat all through the narration. I knew this is the script that would give me the opportunity to explore a different side of me as an actor.”

The 30-year-old added, “I can’t wait to transport myself to Ram sir’s world and see his vision translate on the big screen. This is also the first time I am collaborating with Ronnie and RSVP, and I am looking forward to this journey.”

Director Madhavani who has labelled the movie as a thriller, heaped praises on Kartik and said “As a director, I am inclined towards human stories… This film demanded a young actor, with a certain amount of rawness in the space. Kartik, being one of the most talented actors in Bollywood, fits the bill.”
